The verdict

Manufacturing runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Manufacturing: 5.3 TCR = 160% of Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Manufacturing safety composite

Manufacturing scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 31%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
